Signifying a milestone of academic and industry transition, Chemical Engineering Technology (ChemTech) and Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (BSChem) students underwent the 2nd and 3rd laboratory gown donning and pinning ceremony, respectively, at the university gymnasium, July 1-2.
Under the ChemTech department, 59 third-year students underwent the rites marking their transition from academics to real-work experiences as they will undergo the Supervised Industrial Training (SIT), while 34 second-year BSChem students also took the stage accompanied by their parents and guardians.
Reminding students of the symbolism behind the white coat, Jocelyn Songuit-Sorilla, RCh, emphasized the importance of science integrity, curiosity, and the ethical practice of science in their journey.
โChemistry is fortunately about people. Every molecule in the study has the potential to improve someone's life,โ Songuit-Sorilla stated. โAs you wear this white coat for the first time, remember this, you are wearing the wonder of how much there is still to learn.โ
For Jay-R Jenon, ranking first in ChemTech, the lab gown showcased the dedication and hardships they have all shown in the past years.
โLook at all of us now, SIT one na, one year na lang, one semester na lang, magraduate na ta,โ Jenon shared, highlighting that they are ready for the lessons that can only be built through experience.
